But data from Rotten Tomatoes does seem to indicate the general public dislikes Hewitt more than any other leading lady.

That’s according to an analysis from Slate writers Christopher Beam and Jeremy Singer-Vine. They were geeking out on film data from Rotten Tomatoes when a not-so startling pattern emerged. Jennifer Love Hewitt — AP style be damned; it just feels wrong to not use her full name — is quite possibly the most unpopular actress of the last few decades.

According to Slate’s Career-o-Matic, a data cruncher that compiles critic rankings and spits out an overall score, the actress hasn’t ever made a “fresh” film according to Rotten Tomatoes, requiring an approval rating higher than 60. Her average score? That would be 18.9.

The worst actor might come as less of a surprise. Chuck Norris came out on the bottom of that pile with an average rating of 18.4 — meaning he’s even less respected than Jennifer Love Hewitt. Let’s chalk it up to one too many roundhouse kicks and move on.

One important caveat: The Slate writers said they only ranked the 2,700 directors and actors who made more than 10 films in the last quarter-century.

That said, let’s turn it over to you. Is Jennifer Love Hewitt the worst actress ever? As fodder for your judgment, check out her recent staring role in the Lifetime Original Movie “The Client List.”
